~FIRE CEREMONY~ A child is not a vase to be filled but a fire to be lit. - Rabelais by joni
Fire Ceremony
For Your Fire (Smudge), Pipe, Blessing Ceremony (Songs)
and Daily Forgiveness!
The Blessing of the Nine Sacred Directions # one
I bless the up and the down, the sacred all around, the north, south, east and west, the heartbeat (in) and the breath (out) I give my life to this test (devotion, key to love), the fire's light illuminates our plight (flesh), for I belong to thee forever in the breeze, it's me, the water's breath (soul). I am God's child, blessed like the rest.
The Blessing of the Nine Sacred Directions # two
To the East and the West. To the north and the south. To the up and the down, to the sacred all around. To the heartbeat and Breath, I gift all my sacredness. I receive all my life for thee. I shall be forever in the breeze.
I shall sing. I shall sing upon Mountain Tops. I shall be. Glory for thee. And I shall be the loving breeze.
The Blessing of the Nine Sacred Directions # three
I bless the up and the down, the sacred all around, the north, south, east and west, the heartbeat (in) and the breath (out) I give my life to this test (devotion, key to love), the fire's light illuminates our plight (flesh), for I belong to thee forever in the breeze, it's me, the water's breath (soul). I am God's child, blessed like the rest.
The Blessing of the Nine Sacred Directions # four
I bless the inside and the out, my heart is so stout, the sacred all around, my soul is evolved, the up and the down, where all goes to town (gathering). The north and it's light, the south and it's dark, the east and it's (sun) set, and the west of the (sun) rise. My heart listens to the song, my breath talks of the sin and I forgive everything, bring me back to the world of me again. I ask for the truth, to seek my heart to use, a place God does use, to show the blessing as a muse (offer smiles again). I am devoted to you. Great Spirits, I am true!
The Blessing of the Nine Sacred Directions # five
The one you write. And I tend to say a different blessings every day, but nine directions are always with the fire ablaze (the walk about), the fundamental equation, to cleansing our holy temple, our inner house.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
